Highlights

Researchers developed a new method for transcriptome-wide association studies that accounts for cell type heterogeneity.

The new method identifies gene expression and splicing quantitative trait loci while accounting for confounding factors from variable cell type composition.

Researchers assembled a reference panel of cell type-specific expression signatures to deconvolute bulk tissue transcriptome data.

The cell type deconvolution method significantly improved detection of expression and splicing QTLs compared to previous approaches.

Accounting for cell type heterogeneity revealed novel QTLs missed by other methods due to confounding cell type effects.

Many detected QTLs were tissue-specific, emphasizing the importance of analyzing individual tissues rather than whole blood.

Integration with GWAS data found novel causal genes and variants for complex traits via colocalization of QTLs.

QTLs were enriched in autoimmune disease and cancer susceptibility loci, demonstrating disease relevance.

The new QTL mapping approach highlights the power of integrating cell type information in transcriptome analysis.

Accounting for cell type heterogeneity will be critical for understanding molecular mechanisms of complex diseases.

This approach enables construction of interpretable gene regulatory networks modulated by genetic variation.

The novel QTLs and splicing QTLs provide a rich resource for future functional studies of disease-relevant variants.

Researchers plan to scale up the approach for larger datasets with additional cell types and diverse tissues.

Overall, this study demonstrates the importance of accounting for cell heterogeneity to gain biological insights from transcriptomic data.

The method represents an important advance for leveraging transcriptome data to understand genotype-phenotype relationships.

hello people at the internet watching

videos that have to do of automobiles

welcome to this a drastically expanded

salvage yard this thing is huge now if

you're new and you'd like to get caught

up on the last video where I had some

unfortunate situations happened with a

very expensive engine look this one's

back they put this one on backwards up

above is a link to that video so I am

here for one very specific reason today

and because they're reorganizing the

entire salvage yard nothing is in right

now holy crap what happened to this

Accord RX8 someone already took the

engine out of it at least they still

have stuff generally in a Japanese area

over here and that's I need some

Japanese stuff but I need old stuff oh

yeah everything's super mixed up there's

a mini right next to an ametza weird a

triy Becca I forgot about these things

here we go there an old Maxima and right

down next to it is an old Accord is this

Maxima a VG or a K8 it's a VG this is

huh engine's still in it imagine that

another old mexa here you go an old

Camry look at that body work oh sad an

old Gump there another old Accord seems

like late 8s is the oldest you'll find

in here right now little EF hatch jeez

there is nothing usable out of this ah a

cresa when restoring older cars that are

less common and popular for the masses

you really have to learn how to tap into

resources that the average person really

wouldn't think of thank you cresa don't

think there's any more old Japanese cars

down here holy crap it's alumina I can

literally hear that engine right now in

my head the cars you don't want to stop

driving and the cars that make the stops

you

need welcome to the following day whilst

I'm working on my experiment from the

junkyard it's time to do this I don't

know if this is going to come off in one

piece I don't need to save it this is so

bad all the speaker torn what about this

side

well that speaker is not torn oh wait

yeah it's got a tiny tear obviously new

modern speakers are going to sound

better just because materials

deteriorate but there would have been

something special about having original

old school speakers still in perfect

condition that may or may not be

foreshadowing for what inevitably is

going to come later to fill these holes

that was probably the worst way possible

I could have worded this but you get the

point this giant roll right here was

carefully selected due to its texture

and its

coloration that's it right there now I

have never done this before so don't

judge me if I screw up but let's hope I

don't cuz I don't have a ton of a

material that's some

glue I'm going to use a brush just in

case make sure there's no crap stuck to

this cuz then it will show

up shake up my adhesive get it all all

over the top of my workbench and the

floor and my feet and my lungs that

smells absolutely terrible I probably

should have wor a respirator I'm not

repositioning the camera for this I'm

sorry I I don't have a lot of working

time here there's a little tiny dimples

here and there and that's cuz there's

actually little holes for the buttons

that hold this all in instead of rooing

my freshly cut out piece of fabric I'll

ruin my creeper cuz that made sense now

some of you are probably wondering why

I'm doing this in Black considering the

carpet the seats the headliner and the

pillar covers are all brown those is

like wrapping presents and I suck at

that well there's a good explanation for

that and that's because the dashboard is

black I don't think wrapping it is going

to work yeah it doesn't stay when you

wrap it stapler I don't want to use a

big heavy duty one cuz I don't want to

go through the other

side oh dumb it went through luckily

they're just tiny tiny holes that won't

be

noticeable

I'm going to try a thicker glue which I

don't have enough of that's working

better it's like mustard that will glue

your

[Music]

shut that glue that is no joke I started

getting a headache within like 3 minutes

of using

it I think this will actually work it

needs to be smaller anyway so this is

fine the factory rear package shelf had

jute under it so I'm putting that back

in there as a form of sound deadening

which is the number one thing I get told

in comments about this car is that I

need to add sound deadening to the

inside of the chassis before I install

the interior despite me mentioning

several times that the entire inside of

the shell was Factory sound deadened

already it smells like new car in here

cuz all the fresh jute and carpet smells

good what was I thinking when I did this

this is huge pain I should have put all

this Hardware in a bag I don't know

where to put this stuff I don't know

what to do with my hand my socks are

going to get dirty and then people on

the internet are going to see my feet

and then I'm going to get I'm going to

lose money how I think about it I'm

definitely going end up having to

upgrade this fuel pump that needs to get

vacuumed that's gross honestly what's

more amazing about this entire situation

is how dust is capable of collecting

underneath something that was covered

with an absorbent material I can't

believe how much cleaner this is already

so speaker wire I got some brand new

fresh high quality stuff to replace the

old crap that was in there I'm going to

slice this in the center this is pretty

durable stuff trim this right here that

goes on there this you have no idea how

good this

smells it just smells like a expensive

new cow it smells like Ron

Burgundy that's so good so good oh man

and that looks good that came out

absolutely mint I'm like very proud of

myself for that one a little bit

interior

cleaner I had no idea this vent was

actually functional in this trim piece

oh it's nice and clean the back is where

all the stink is

[Music]

at that's stink free I got to figure out

how much of this I

need probably put EXT ra I'm talking to

myself I guess technically I'm talking

to the camera airplane I'll probably end

up integrating this into the dash

harness area that's F-16 Flying a

training

sorty a little bit of After Burner

action and it's

[Music]

wingman yep that should be enough right

there cut it whether or whether not I

actually have speakers for this thing

already that's something that will be

the icing on the cake at the end of this

build okay I think that goes like that

also I haven't made up my mind whether

or not I want to remove the sticker on

the back

window this might not make sense to some

of you to save this stuff but I want to

try to keep some of this car original

and these are both for the front so I

was kind of stupid and accidentally

threw away the plastic liners for the

rear windows but these are genuine

Toyota parts bags this is 100% fully

acceptable cuz this is a genuine Toyota

plastic bag this right here is I'm

saying that I win I win OEM Plus on the

internet because I use genuine Toyota

plastic

bag nobody can top

this I got it all over my nails awesome

exactly what I wanted Beau all my

[Music]

Nails the whole reason why this video

started off in the junkyard was because

of this I had to get some more of the

original Toyota Hardware see how it has

a little Fantastic Four logo as the

rating on the top of the bolt well they

don't make them like this anymore old

Toyota Hardware from the'80s and older

Poss possibly also Nissan and Honda

might have done this but I know 100%

Toyota had the little number rating with

a circle around it on the head of each

one of the bolts now these are all the

ones from the Celica that I tried

cleaning up in the ultrasonic cleaner

and a lot of them are just covered in

old paint and they didn't really come up

as clean as I wanted them to and the

ones from the cresa they lost their gold

finish and are covered in paint over

spray so what that means is I'm probably

going to end up having to get those all

re zinc coated just because that's a lot

of the hardware that goes in the engine

bay for brackets and stuff that's highly

visible so this thing that looks like

the corpse of a prehistoric

caterpillar is for the window you know

when you see like a late model Ford or

Dodge pickup truck and the front windows

are so scratched you can't even see in

them that's because people are lazy and

don't clean their vehicles like they

should and also because these get full

of dirt what I have here straight from

Japan is a set of new ones

shout out to Rick at toy head Auto he's

the one that stocks these and imports

them from Japan where they're produced

and uh I'm just glad they still make

stuff like this for these cars give this

a little wipe down with some interior

cleaner and then these get bent sideways

up here at the top I almost did this

upside down and swapped them see how one

side has the little slits because it has

to curve well the little slits need to

face down which subsequently will Orient

this little little guy in the right

direction for your window there really

isn't any good information on the

internet for doing this either at least

that I could find getting this Bend

right there is really not easy can't

tell if corrosion or adhesive just in

case this is actually corrosion I'm

going to treat it real quick and then

final wipe down this

side this is how I'm making my

Bend there's only so much range of

motion you can bend to this ouch that

thing's

[Music]

sharp if you guys missed out on the

video where I had to replace the carpet

down here and sew on this new piece in

the border and all that stuff uh I'll

link it up

above ouch that was definitely adhesive

on the back side of this door

panel this is an ass pen right here

there is a clip that I just can't can't

really get to I'm sorry for the terrible

lighting and camera angles this is not a

film studio in Los Angeles this is a

shop and Tucson getting all

these little Clips aligned in their

respective holes took far longer than I

anticipated my shop is such a mess I

have to clean in here these guys are

painted I'm that lame that I put a part

of the Toyota sticker from this bag on

the plastic just so you know that's a

flex the only way that could go any

harder is if it was old logo clip goes

over the top walk around the shop at my

socks getting them all

dirty man this is not

easy yep that one went where it supposed

to got

it the plate will go right there as much

as I want to bolt the seat in and be

done with this area I have a problem Mo

your shoing C lady eventually someday

I'll find a general contractor to erect

a new shop and when I do have one I

won't have to play musical cars anymore

if you're up to speed on these videos

and you're wondering what happened with

the engine as you're watching this right

now it should either be or hopefully

almost be already at the engine shop

that originally did all the work I

shipped it and stuck an Apple Air tag in

the box so I could track

it all right scuff these up use a

scotchbrite so I can put some tooth into

this metal I don't know why I choose to

struggle when I have tools I guess I'm

just used to

[Music]

[Applause]

it last time I did that I hit my camera

with a bolt almost this time I learned

my

lesson wax and grease remover make sure

this is spot spotless even though I

manufactured these brackets out of

stainless steel I still want to coat

them in some black epoxy that way they

match the underside of the car better

and with the magic of time travel

they're all dry and ready to

install

is it's get hot in

here so take off all your

clothes

[Music]

magnet

worked solid oh almost lost that

[Music]

one how gangster is this these seat belt

bolts have the little Toyota logo right

there at the very top is the old Toyota

logo or at least the outline shape of it

inside a circle seat

belt it's amazing that I don't destroy

these cameras on a more frequent basis

with how I treat them here so you can

see what I'm doing I have Windows that

go down

[Music]

now I had one one side

in there now it's in that's hard it's

starting to feel like a

car

it's a little Victory but it's a

victory it's so comfy and it doesn't

stink like mildew like it used to a

little dangerous so there's that

underlying theme to this video if you

haven't noticed and it's Hardware the

reason why I have not assembled the rear

end of the car fully yet is because I

was lacking clean yellow zinc Hardware

along with these this is raw steel and

this needs to be zinc coated however you

see how thick these are I think I need

to go back to the drawing board on

designing these the way I design these

is the flat portion mounts to the bottom

side of the spoiler I have to put some

holes in it and attach it there and then

these two studs go through the holes

that I have in the top of the trunk lid

problem is that surface is curved it's

not perfectly flat I'm thinking steel

isn't the answer that is way too too

stiff and it's inevitably going to Dent

the trunk lid when I go to tighten it

down so I need to do something a little

bit more flexible but yet still strong

enough that I can attach it to the

bottom of the spoiler I was also

thinking I could do something like this

this is what is used on the 67 of 69

Camaro and Firebird to mount the rear

spoiler on it you see this is the

threaded portion that goes into the

bottom of the spoiler and then this is

the body that goes through the trunk lid

that you can thread some Hardware onto I

kind of like this option cuz there's no

strap going across the bottom of the

wing as far as the bumper itself goes I

had the brace that goes behind it

powdercoated black along with the

license plate bracket which this is

originally black from the factory on

these cars so now these are ready but

the hardware not so much it's got old

paint on it and yeah I need to get these

freshened up so with that said the next

video on this car is going to be

dependent on me having freshly zinc

coated Hardware back from a zinc coater

and the engine is probably going to take

about 30 days to get back from the

engine builder and without the engine

there's only a couple small things left

that I can actually do to this car most

of it is final assembly waiting on those

fresh zinc coated bolts however outside

the door right now is a freshly painted

cab for the come and swap F350 so I got

some content on that coming for you as

well as either the MR2 or the Forester

you guys got to fight it out in the

comment section below which you want to

see something on and then hopefully by

then I should have the stuff back for

this car and I can wrap it up so thank

you guys for watching and I'll see you

soon with another video

bye
